Om detta spel

All hope seems to be lost for the country of Lydia in their war against Caldea, which has a huge advantage in numbers and technology. Into the midst of this war flies an unknown pilot in a prototype fighter... His agenda and the secret to the his awesome firepower will be revealed as he takes on overwhelming numbers of enemy fighters and massive bosses to reach his final objective.

Ether Vapor Remaster is a cinematic 3D arcade shooter and visual treat from developer Edelweiss. Explosions, lasers, ships and backgrounds are breathtakingly rendered. The dynamic camera uses vertical, horizontal and cinematic chase cam views to switch up the action and highlight the drama. Use multi-lock-on to shoot tens of missiles at a time and even blow up an entire battleship in the challenging Bonus Zones.

For me it is one of the best shooter games I have ever played. Unlike many other shooters, Ether Vapor switches between several different perspectives. There are no power ups. Your ship is equipped with three primary weapons at start, each of them is good for different occasion. While there are only perhaps a dozen different enemy models, some effort has been put into unique enemy designs. Lets talk about Explosions, they look very nice and the curving homing lasers that many ships in the game fire are worth see. There has been a lot of attention to detail. Enemies produce vapor trails and bullets release a shower of particles when hitting target. There is lot of going on and many boss fights included too. Quick view on the controls in the menu, yes it's terrible but you get used to it. The game was originally released only through Japanese doujin channels in 2007 and it was released again in 2011 as remaster version. Ether Vapor is a solid shooter with a lot going for it. Its production values are really high compared to a lot of doujin products. Perspective-changing levels provide a welcome change to the normal shooter genre.

This game is great. This game has spaceships, mechas and the design is awesome. The story is not bad. Music is beautiful. I really like that in game the screen view changes. One moment you are shooting enemies and suddenly the camera angle changes and you have to shoot rockets that are following you from behind. This really makes the game more lively.

It looks flashy enough and has pretty good graphics and music, but that's about everything good that can be said about the game. The hitbox is hateful, the lock-on weapon doesn't really work outside of boss encounters, and the concentrated shot isn't really better than the spread shot. Many enemy shots are only barely visible on the bright, fast-moving background. The stage flow is often broken up by bonus sections that drag on forever, like the missile dodge section on the first stage. The boss encounters are all over the place.

And worst of all, the (thankfully skippable) story cutscenes are absolutely atrocious in every aspect.
